Secret Wish
My secret wish
Is to be wanted
Not used
To be loved
Not hated
To be cared about
Not abused
I wanna live in place
Where people can be people
Where racism and criticism
Doesn’t exist
Everybody in perfect harmony
My secret wish is
Not to be judged by the ones
Who loved me
I wanna be loved for who I am
Not for who am not
I wanna laughed with
Not laughed at
I wanna be in a place
Where hurtful words
Doesn’t exist
Where fighting and killing
Doesn’t exist
Where slavery and child abuse
Are not known to human kind
I wanna change the world
Make life worth living
Not worth dying
So tonight I go outside
And wish for my secret wish to
Come true
Saying the only way I know it came through
Is if the world changes
